build script "stacksize" option does not work with "test" task

[core36]

Hello - newfag here, trying to build on raspberry pi 2:
"python ./build/build.py --stacksize=16384 build" does work.
"python ./build/build.py --stacksize=16384 run" does work
"python ./build/build.py --stacksize=16384 test" crashes with stackoverflow error
so i can't build it with the "all" option.

what can i do to resolve this error?
thanks

I doubt a stack size of 16k is anywhere close to being enough.

[core36]

called "python ./build/build.py --help" and got:
"--stacksize=NN sets the Java thread stack size in KB"
so "--stacksize=16384" should be 16MB?
tried "python ./build/build.py --stacksize=16000000 test" but still stack oveflow error and no memory error

calling "run" with a stacksize of 16000000 there is an error stating "Invalid thread stack size -Xss16000000k"

Terminal output ("python ./build/build.py --stacksize=16000000 test"):

Yeah, I see now from looking at the source that we already have it appending k to what you specify.

So, please try --stacksize=512 or --stacksize=1024.

[core36]

sorry, no luck with both options.
"build" works without it
"run" needs atleas 4096k or it gives OutOfMemory error
"test" just does not work.
i think it's strange the problem is only with the "test" task. maybe the script does not append the "-XX:ThreadStackSize" and "-Xss" options in the "test" task?
do i need the "test" task or can i skip it somehow?

ah yeah sorry I think that’s the case actually yeah. I'll try to add support for those options to the `test* task soon.

do i need the "test" task or can i skip it somehow?

You do not need that test task. You can can skip it. It’s mainly there for me to use myself for regression testing.
